I hate the fact that she's going to retire and she was only just introduced. Feels like we haven't gotten to know her well as a gym leader/character as a result.

>intentionally unappealing
I actually think she's incredibly appealing, she has such an original and interesting design. An old lady living in a fairytale like forest surrounded by creatures often depicted as weird little shits while she herself gives the image of a stereotypical old witch, all this while being an assertive and confident old lady. Not to mention her gym gimmick was genuinely interesting.
Overall Opal is an amazing character and I love her, wish we got more like her.

What we got to see from her was pretty interesting, and she left a bigger mark on the story than a lot of gym leaders.

Anon, most Gym Leaders in this franchise don't even get post-game development. They're "only just introduced" and just have to fuck off.

Opal is almost 90 years old, and her part in the story is to mentor someone in the next generation. She doesn't even stop hanging around the gym in Ballonlea, she just retires from her official duties.

No clue. Literally the best designed character out of gen 8, and she’s pretty cool too.

Piers is alright imo. Leon on the other hand can go die in a fire. Preferably, his own Charizard's fire.

Unironically coomers.
If they can't coom to it, it's a bad design.
Which is dumb considering Opal is actually the best character in the game in terms of design, personality, and gimmick.

Literally rent free
I'm a coomer and I like her. People don't complain about Agatha and Bertha, do they? Opal hate(I haven't even seen much compared to Leon, Raihan, or the rivals for example) would just be an extension of mindless SS hate shitting on good ideas or good execution(like some character designs, some thematic ideas or some mostly liked new pokemon) just because they're from Gen 8. You see this in this board all the time, if someone has a vendetta for any particular Gen they'll downplay any upsides they might or even claim "this is bad, actually"

I really didn't like Opal when she was revealed, but after actually playing the game I ended up thinking she was a pretty neat character in the end. Kinda liked the whole "I must find a new gym leader to take my place" motive she had going on for her part of the story.

The writing in SWSH is the worst for characters. A lot of people miss the fact that she is a magic user and rumoured to be able to predict her opponent's future moves.

Now they could've easily put in some dialogue during her battle that says something like, "Ohohoho~ You are going to use (move)? You really are just a pawn in my stage play."

Never heard of anyone hating her. In fact, she's often praised for being one of the few gym leaders with a fun personality and her pop quiz mechanic.

Now, in my ideal world they GF have made Polteageist a ghost/fairy type and Opal would use one to match Alcremie. They could have even spun it as her reading the future by interpreting tea leaves from Polteageist tea (also an appropriate nod to Alice in Wonderland, along with Alcremie's Gmax form). Alas, Opal's character was basically a senile pink-obsessed grandma.

it hurts that we can't fight her again, especially since alcremie is my favourite gmax
I like how she struggles to hold the dynamax ball

But you actually do get to know her from her quizzes. The whole charm of her gym are based about answering shit that doesn't make sense and show how much of her personality is akin to Bede
